    Need help to identify this lot of BW insignia please

    Gents,

    BRD insignia is not really in my line, but I got this bunch of stuff together with other items I wanted. Most of them are absolutely brand new and mint in the wrap, so I did not want to take them out of the plastic.

    Could I please trouble you all to tell me what these items are. I am very grateful for your help.

    And sorry for the really lousy photographs. I did not have time to do my usual setup!


    shoulder boards, brand new, sewn together as a pair


    some kind of silver lanyard


    aluminium pips with bronze prongs


    some kind of pocket badges and a ribbon bar


    collar tabs, silver bullion and normal thread




    a "fallschirmjager" belt buckle


    a beret badge?


    sleeve patches

    And that's the lot.

    Thanks, everyone, in advance.

    -Alf

    Im not too up to speed on Bundeswehr rank boards but:

    Your silver cord is the Schuetzenschnur lanyard

    Pips for your officers shoulderboards

    The pocket badge is for the Franco-German Brigade

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-German_Brigade

    The ribbon award for an Ehrenkreuz in Gold

    The Gold Eagle badge for your schuetzenschnur

    Fallschirmjaeger's are Paratroopers

    Your cloth badge is the Einzenkaempfer badge (an equivalent to like SERE or Ranger courses in the US Army)

    Then looks like you have some Fallschirmjaeger unit patches and another Einzelkaempfer badge

    Sorry I couldnt help with everything

      Thank you for your help, my friend.

      I don't know what I am going to do with all this stuff, since I don't collect them!

      If anybody wants to buy it, please let me know.

        Hello, this is my first post at the Wehrmacht-Awards Forum. Hope I can help out with some info about German Armed Forces in the future.
        Your first pic shows two machine embroidered patches of Luftlandebrigade 26 (top row) and a bullion patch of Kommando Spezialkräfte (bottom row, left).

            Thank you, Ralph. My collecting interests are mainly colored U.S. Army SSI, a bit of Bundeswehr insignia and everything in conjunction with Bundeswehr Artillerie.

                  Can anyone tell me what these insignia are worth? I would like to pass them on to a collector of these items who could make use of them.

                    Always difficult to say. Due to the fact, that all these insignia seem to be unused, I would rate the whole lot about 30,- -40,- Euros, here in Germany! I have no idea, how much the belt buckle would be. It's of course a customized, unofficial piece.

                      Lars,

                      Welcome to the forum. Nice to see new people showing up. Things have been slow as late due to the summer time I think.

                      Regards,

                      Gordon

                        Thank you, Gordon. I have visited this site several times before. I found many interesting threads regarding the Bw, so I thought I could join it now.

                        @achern: Sorry for "hijacking" your thread again!

                          Guys, I put all these random BW items up for sale on ebay as I don't need them and don't know what to do with them either.

                          If anybody needs anything from here please PM me. I'll pull the item for you.
